The friendship between Faye Wong and Vicki Zhao has lasted 15 years. On April 9, Vicki Zhao posted this photo along with the theme song’s lyrics to her microblog where she has over 41 million followers, mentioning Faye Wong directly:

it depends on who’s paying for the johnny walker, sometimes it’s only 5 times worse.

Mighty

LOL! True. And if the girls are hot and entertaining I’m oblivion to all that crappy singing.

Atlas

I liked Faye Wong’s Final Fantasy 8 song.

ophiolater

Someone is dying again, always this old ass singing as if she is dying.

Mighty

Too bad it’s not her swan song.

Azzurra

Certainly doesn’t make the most positive and inspirational music, but better than most mandopop.

Mighty

She does make an amazing version of the Cranberries.

ophiolater

She is much worse than Cranberries, she has no much skill at high key.
She copied many singers, Cranberries , Sophie Zelmani…And she began to sing early, at that time China had no many singers for stylish pop music. No any pop star can be a pop queen just by singing in low and weak voice. She got the chance by pretending cool with that looks all the time.

Azzurra

I would disagree that Faye Wong isn’t technically skilled. She has a naturally small and candied voice, true – started out imitating Theresa Teng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faye_Wong_discography: see teenage albums). However the influence from and training in western music gave her a technical edge later. She increased her range in the lower registers and created her own sound to rock and more metal music. When she was at her best she’s able to pull off Bohemian Rhapsody live (though the absolute merit of that cover is a different story).

ophiolater

Copier and faker and drug addicted.
Her ugly kids and poor marriage are the best reward for her.

Azzurra

K……
Serious case of Faye-hate huh?

ophiolater

Serious old ass-kisser!
Maybe she needs more money from people like you for drug and feed her husband and kids.Go on!

Who is the best singer in your mind then? Xu Song? Xu Liang? Justin Bieber?
If you don’t know how to listen pop music, please just shut up.

Stormist

if you don’t know what “language sense” is, please don’t criticize her rashly.

Cleo

it’s really difficult i guess to pull off her style of singing – but I don’t really like it – however, I have to give her credit for it.

I wouldn’t say that growing up outside China is BETTER than being Chinese but I acknowledge that the China Chinese got shortchanged (we on the outside lose out in other ways but no one would trade that cultural loss for what the Mainlanders lost).

my youth was horrific emotionally enough without even being the greatest of tragedies – I have none of this nihilistic inconsolableness. The world is much uglier than losing one’s youth and the most enjoyable thing in the world is to ultimately destroy goblins even if you don’t live long enough to see it personally. That’s close to happiness.

Boris

If you want to give anyone credit, give it to Liz Fraser. Still, I love Faye’s voice. A range that’s nigh on impossible for most.

mr.wiener

Tell me more about your demons.

James

inconsolableness, the scrabble force is strong with this one

Sam

Thanks Rensi, love your work!

The singing is nice but it sounds a bit lazy to sing like this through the whole song, could have used some high pitched and strong pitched vocals.
